Eight distinguished scholarly presses, including the recently-revived University of Missouri Press and the Chinese University Press, are confirmed to join the University Press Content Consortium (UPCC) and make their books available digitally on the Project MUSE platform in 2014. Cornell University Press, Northern Illinois University Press, Ohio State University Press, School for Advanced Research Press, Texas Tech University Press, and University of South Carolina Press constitute the remainder of the new participants in UPCC Books on MUSE.

All of the new presses are expected to make their books available in both the UPCC Collections on MUSE and the recently launched Single Title Sales program.
